For an agency that serves disabled people & getting them into the work force, the accessibility & communication is incredibly lacking.After reading other reviews it seems this organization is incredibly selective with the disabled people it helps, up to even being outright ableist & refusing assistance towards some people.

Being that A representative from the "San Diego Futures Foundation" seemed to think he was rightful to direct me to the "[California] Department of Rehabilitation," I made inquiry at "Able Disabled(DOR)." I asked if they could help someone who has not been accepted to Social Security or the DOR's system with job-seeker assistance. Able-Disabled told me that they can help people who have been laid-off or terminated without cause of their own, but will not accept individuals who were terminated by wrongful accusation of company policy. They provided absolutely no information about accessibility for disabilities not accepted by the Department of Rehabilitation, including ambulatory spinal injuries, vision problems acceptable by the Social Security Administration (yet are denied because they are corrected), head trauma with functioning cognitive abilities, endocrinological disorders, and other temporary conditions or any information when those circumstances are violated by employer practice.

Idk if there was a misunderstanding but I was sure highly disappointed. I found this place on the Certiport website. Apparently this is a approved Certiport exam place. This place should be taken off the list. I scheduled an exam back in March for April 27th on the phone. I was told to bring 20 dollars for for the proctor. I showed up on time and ready to take my exam but when I arrived it was empty and there was 2 people in a office asking me what I’m there for. A man told me I have the wrong place and that they do the exams upstairs. So then I proceed upstairs to the room the man told me to go to and there was a man there telling me we don’t do exams here we hold computer classes tho. He asked me where I scheduled the exam? I told him and he said you should go downstairs we don’t do exams here anymore. I went back down but nobody was there anymore. I tried calling the able disabled and nobody picked up the phone so I just decided to leave. It was a waste of time and gas. Yes I’m sure I scheduled with this company. If you need to take a exam with a voucher from Certiport don’t go here.

I was fortunate to work with Jerry Julian as my I.T. Instructor when trying to obtain my 698 Microsoft Installing and Configuring Windows 10 Certification. With his assistance and direction I passed the examine on my first attempt with a score of 945 out of a possible 1000. The information and guidance provided along with access to the study materials made this all possible. I am a I.T. Professional who has a degree but never put much emphasis on Certifications since I was already working in the field immediately after graduation. Able Disabled Advocacy Inc., has given me the opportunity to obtain certifications. I am now moving on to the CompTIA Network + certification and once successful will probably pursue the CompTIA Security + certification. Able-Disabled Advocacy Inc is a positive program that can assist you in becoming Certified and successful.

Let me start by saying.... DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME; at first they are super nice. They will setup an appointment with you and show you in's and out's of apprenticeships, which may look interesting at first. AFTER...They turn their back on you and do not offer an apprenticeship. You are on your own to find a job which they call an apprenticeship. DONT DO IT!!!

The techworks program was established to provide training and employment assistance for advanced IT professionals. Able-Disabled Advocacy (A-DA), San Diego Futures Foundation (SDFF), and Alliant International University (AIU) have partnered to offer an innovative training program called TechWORKS to advance the skills of IT professionals who have been unable to find employment for the last six months or more. The program is designed to assist these jobseekers by providing advanced training leading to attainment of IT certifications. AIU can also serve degree candidates and those enrolled in the Heathcare Certificate Programs offered by the University who meet the eligibility criteria. 200 scholarships will be awarded. I have been one of those lucky individuals that received a scholarship. Not only have I now obtained my Comptia A+ certification (something that I should have received a long time ago but was too lazy to work towards) but I am going to be setting up my next certificate training as well as my paid internship position (which might lead to permanent employment anyway!) Kirt Wharwood was an amazing instructor and unfortunately will be leaving there but Cindy Lennon and the rest of the staff are right there to continue doing wonderful things.
